The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 3088

Pound cake, as the name suggests, is made of one pound of sugar, one pound of flour, one pound of eggs, and one pound of butter. It is a dessert that represents how much sweetness Westerners can eat.

One pound is about nine taels, which is close to one catty. One catty of sugar is needed in this cake.

What's more terrifying is that this cake doesn't taste very sweet, because the one pound of butter will make the finished cake more moist and soft, and the oily taste brought by the fat will be more conducive to swallowing, which will make the taste of sugar less obvious. Many dessert shops will even use one and a half catties of sugar to make it sweeter.

This thing is a complete calorie bomb. A small piece is enough for an adult's daily calorie needs. In addition to being difficult to store, it is not as useful as compressed biscuits in wilderness survival.

After lunch, Schiller started to bake cakes. Except for Steve, who has been exercising all year round, basically no one doesn't like desserts, and eating desserts helps relieve anxiety. Schiller's office often puts some sweet wafers and chocolates, which the nurses will give to patients with good performance.

Carter's matter inevitably makes everyone shrouded in an atmosphere of anxiety, and delicious desserts are the best choice to relieve this atmosphere.

Unfortunately, Schiller's stockpiled supplies are relatively basic, and those high-end desserts are definitely not available. He decided to make the most classic and least likely to fail pound cake, and then add fruits and cream to help people who don't like to eat quickly replenish calories and cheer up.

The men went to prepare the afternoon barbecue. Because there were two big eaters, Gray Fog and Venom, there was no need to worry about not being able to finish the ingredients. Schiller bought a cow directly from the ranch next door.

Next door is a grain-fed ranch, and one of the characteristics of American grain-fed beef is that it has more fat and tastes more fragrant and smooth. It may be a disaster for people who don't like to eat fat, but if you can accept fat-rich beef, it tastes quite good. In comparison, the lean meat of Australian grain-fed beef tastes better.

The rancher next door had already slaughtered the cattle. Steve led the others to the farm gate to receive the beef. The beef was slaughtered very well and all parts were cleaned. However, because they were worried that the bloody smell might cause Carter discomfort, they took the beef directly to the warehouse next door for processing.

The ladies were responsible for processing the vegetables, mainly cutting the bell peppers for skewering the beef, and shredding the lettuce and purple cabbage for salad.

There is a very famous barbecue in California, called palm leaf barbecue, which means roasting fresh beef on palm leaves. In some areas, the meat is wrapped in palm leaves and thrown into the fire pit. The ladies are very interested in this dish. Wanda suggested picking some palm leaves of suitable size.

In fact, she wanted to take Carter out for a walk. Although the ultraviolet rays are very strong now, when she was pregnant, she would feel much better as long as she stayed in a sunny place. She hoped that Carter would be the same.

After the chattering ladies left the kitchen, Schiller really started to prepare the afternoon dishes. He had to deal with seafood, and the fishy smell of seafood might make Carter uncomfortable. He had to finish dealing with crabs and shrimps before the ladies came back.

California's seafood is also very famous, especially the large treasure crabs. Schiller ordered a batch of good goods from the San Francisco dock. Almost every one of them weighed more than two pounds, with beautiful orange-yellow shells, and some of them were waving their claws.

Schiller quickly opened the shells of the two large crabs and took out the crab roe to make porridge. This kind of crab has little roe, but the crab roe is rich in fat, which is very suitable for making raw porridge.

Schiller used a casserole to cook a pot of white porridge. When the crab roe was rolled in, a layer of golden fat floated on the surface of the whole porridge, and an indescribable fresh fragrance of fat floated out. Schiller tore some crab meat and put it in, and added a little ginger powder. It was not boiled thoroughly because there was still some time before dinner, and it could be rolled again at that time.

The crab meat of these two crabs was made into garlic-flavored butter-baked crab meat. This method is more in line with the taste of local Americans, but Schiller felt a little greasy. He then steamed two whole crabs. Steamed crabs can be eaten by everyone, and they retain the original flavor of seafood. The remaining one was made into spicy fried crab according to his own taste. The key is to stir-fry it over high heat to make it fragrant but not spicy, and still retain the freshness of seafood.

Of course, how can you not eat Mexican food when you come to California? Considering that the ladies have a lighter taste, Schiller made Mexican vegetable burritos, Mexican corn crispy pizza with marinated chicken on top, and a colorful pepper sour cream soup.

In addition, clam chowder, seafood stew, spicy beef fried rice and the famous California roll were made.

After the ladies came back, they began to help pack up. Although they were going to barbecue, they had to bring a lot of things besides ingredients. Some bits and pieces were put into their bags, and they also took their swimsuits.

Helen and the two mice had nothing else to do. They were inflating the swimming ring and kayak, and they were caught by the black bald head who suddenly came.

Nick had a Pikachu in his left hand and a Rocket Raccoon in his right hand. Just as he was about to ask what they were doing here, Pikachu gave him a 100,000-volt electric shock, which made him even darker.

Rocket Raccoon, who was also in his hand, was also hit. He was caught in an unprovoked disaster, so he couldn't wait to fight back after Nick withdrew his hand. In order to protect the swimming ring that had just been inflated, Helen had to stand up and stop them.

Nick exhaled a puff of black smoke, coughed a few times, walked to the island counter, snapped his fingers and said, "Give me a cup of Pina Colada..."

With a bang, a coconut hit his head. Nick rubbed his forehead and complained: "You are so rude, at least open it for me."

Schiller threw him another coconut opener, but it was really hard to use. Nick couldn't open it after working for a long time, so he had to give it to Helen.

He pressed one arm on the island countertop and said, "How's it going with Steve? I knew his kid's life wouldn't go well..."

Schiller looked back at him, wondering why he said that. Nick shook his head and said, "The best outcome for modified people like us is to die alone. Reproduction of offspring is a luxury."

"Even in this era, no one has developed super soldier medicine without side effects. In that era when science was not yet developed, those medicines had already caused irreversible damage to our bodies. All we can do is Spread this damage."

"You are too pessimistic." Schiller brought him a glass of ice and said, "We now have the ability to remedy many things. Steve already has a basic plan. I believe this child will be born smoothly. "

"Being born is just the first step, the trouble is still to come." Although he said this, Nick also had some joy on his face. If Captain America's child is a mutant, it will bring mutants closer to SHIELD. He has been coveting these humanoid nuclear bombs for a long time.

After handling the meat, Stark held his own hands and walked in from the front door with some disgust. He was a little surprised to see Nick coming, but he couldn't help but taunted: "You came at the right time. It’s very consistent with SHIELD’s style of waiting until a year after the problem is resolved before showing up.”

"Don't say that, Tony." Nick pouted and said, "Is little Morgan okay? Does he miss her Uncle Nick?"

"She is very good, but I must warn you, stay away from my daughter. I don't want her to become as sinister as you."

Nick was not ashamed, but proud. He laughed loudly and said: "If she really has such a talent, you should be happy that there is a successor to SHIELD."

Stark pursed his lips and showed a speechless expression. You can never hurt a shameless person with words.

Steve and Reid followed back, and Reid looked a little nervous, as if they had just discussed some plan and were now preparing to implement it.

It happened that at this time, Susan came down from upstairs after getting her things and greeted them with a smile. Susan was a typical American blonde, beautiful and enthusiastic, and could get along with everyone. In such a short period of time, she had already become friends with Wang. They formed a relationship where they could secretly chat and gossip, which was completely opposite to Reed's popularity.

She changed into a beautiful light green tight-fitting dress, with the hem like layers of blooming lotus leaves. She wore two thin golden earrings on her ears. Her whole person exuded a mature and intellectual charm, and matched everyone present. Women are all different.

Reed's eyes widened on the spot. Steve and Stark pulled on his sleeves desperately. He was stunned for more than ten seconds before he reacted and cast a look at Steve asking for help.

Stark, a veteran in love, immediately cheered, and Wanda and Pepper who came out behind him also started to cheer. Susan showed a playful smile, tossed her hair back, and waved her hands like a Hollywood star.

Reed felt like he was pushed hard, and turned around to glare at Stark, but he still walked up to her, clenched his hands and said to Susan: "You are so beautiful today, uh, we are going to mix a few drinks." What were your thoughts in the past?”

Susan blinked slightly and said: "I don't have any particular preference for wine. If I have to say, maybe something sweeter would be good? Is there any rum here?"

Reed looked at the bar, and Schiller shook his head. He said: "We have prepared liqueurs, whiskey, rye beer, red wine and ice wine, as well as some low-alcohol rice wine for cooking, but no rum or vodka. "

"Ah, it's okay, I can drink anything." Susan waved her hand and said, "I'm not used to drinking while eating. If you want to drink, how about some beer?"

Reed didn't seem to expect this answer at all, turning his head to look at Steve, who was lip-syncing for him frantically.

But before Reed could speak, Susan smiled at him and said, "But I'm actually quite interested in bartending. What kind of wine can you make? Can you do fancy bartending?"

"Don't be ridiculous, ma'am." Reed said a little embarrassed, "I only know how to mix all the drinks together and shake them."

But Susan covered her mouth and laughed. She said: "What a coincidence. Me too. Once I mixed lemon juice and milk drink together and made a cup of thick unknown substance. I thought I was What new results are there in the field of liquid molecules?”

Reed immediately said enthusiastically: "Citric acid and protein will cause the liquid to agglomerate, which will indeed make a mess, but it can't be called a new achievement..."

Steve stepped forward and pulled him hard. Stark rolled his eyes behind him, thinking that this girl is also interested in you, but if it were someone else, you would be completely out of luck.

Then the two of them walked to the bar, and Schiller moved out of the way very wisely.

But he had actually made most of the drinks, mainly some refreshing low-alcohol cocktails and ice-cold coconut juice. He put them in beer buckets, filled them with ice cubes, and carried them to the door, ready to put them in. In the car.
